When choosing a hose reel, make sure that you obtain precise information on your equipment specifications.
Hose reels, especially customised versions, require a substantial investment of time and money to fabricate properly. To make sure that you get the right hose reel for your needs, we provide this informative guide to help.
Getting the proper hose reel has just as much importance as selecting any other piece of equipment. Without the correct reel size, your system will fail to function properly. Hose reels come in a number of types, so you have to consider a number of issues when getting the reel that you need.
First, consider what type of substance the hose will transfer, whether it is air, water, grease, or some other legally approved substance. Keep in mind that stainless steel options will best resist damaging corrosion. Environments that cause the most damage include mines, ocean marinas, and other areas where the reels come into contact with saltwater and other corrosive substances.
Next, the reel size depends on the inside and outside diameter of the hose. The most common sizes include 6 mm, 10mm, 12mm, 19mm, 25 mm, 32 mm, 38 mm and 50 mm. Your hose length also will affect your choice of reel. Make sure that you allow yourself enough hose to cover the needed area of transit. Also, remember that the longer the hose, the greater the pressure loses.
We also offer customised hose reels that we construct in-house for you.
